Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground mustard (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish or soufflé dish.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place the bread, buttered side down, into a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on two slices of the bread while still in the skillet. Top with the other bread slices to create two sandwiches.
Cook each sandwich until golden brown on both sides, and the cheese inside has melted. Remove from heat and cut each sandwich into 1-inch squares. Arrange the sandwich squares evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground mustard (if using). Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the sandwich squares in the baking dish, ensuring every piece is coated. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden, and the custard mixture has set in the center.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.
